General Information

Unit Description

Before shipment, each unit is leak tested, dehydrated,
charged with refrigerant and compressor oil, and run
tested for proper control operation.
For major design sequence F units, the condenser coils are
microchannel type aluminum coils.
Direct-drive, vertical discharge condenser fans are
provided with built-in thermal overload protection.
The ReliaTel™ Control Module is a microelectronic control
system that is referred to as "Refrigeration Module"
(RTRM). The acronym RTRM is used extensively
throughout this document when referring to the control
system network.
This module through Proportional/Integral control
algorithms perform specific unit functions that governs
unit operation in response to; zone temperature, supply air
temperature, and/or humidity conditions depending on
the application.
The stages of capacity control for these units are achieved
by starting the Economizer Control Actuator (ECA).
The RTRM is mounted in the control panel and is factory
wired to the respective internal components. The RTRM
receives and interprets information from other unit
modules, sensors, remote panels, and customer binary
contacts to satisfy the applicable request for cooling.
Economizer Control Actuator ReliaTel™
Control
The ECA monitors the mixed air temperature, return air
temperature, minimum position setpoint (local or
remote), power exhaust setpoint, CO
ambient dry bulb/ enthalpy sensor or comparative
humidity (return air humidity against ambient humidity)
sensors, if selected, to control dampers to an accuracy of
±5 percent of stroke. The actuator is spring returned to the
closed position any time that power is lost to the unit. It is
capable of delivering up to 25 in·lb of torque and is
powered by 24 Vac.
RTCI—ReliaTel™ Trane Communication
Interface (Optional)
This module is used when the application calls for an ICS™
building management type control system. It allows the
control and monitoring of the system through an ICS
panel. The module can be ordered from the factory or
ordered as a kit to be field installed. Follow the installation
instruction that ships with each kit when field installation
is necessary.
RT-SVX25J-EN
RLCI—ReliaTel™ LonTalk Communication
Interface (Optional)
This module is used when the application calls for an ICS™
building management type control system that is LonTalk.
It allows the control and monitoring of the system through
an ICS panel. The module can be ordered from the factory
or ordered as a kit to be field installed. Follow the
installation instruction that ships with each kit when field
installation is necessary.
RBCI—ReliaTel BACnet™ Communications
Interface (Optional)
This module is used when the application calls for an open
BACnet protocol. It allows the control and monitoring of
the system through an ICS panel. The module can be
ordered from the factory or as a kit to be field installed.
Follow the installation instructions that ships with each kit
when field installation is necessary.
RTOM—ReliaTel™ Options Module
(Optional)
The RTOM monitors the supply fan proving, clogged filter,
supply air temperature, exhaust fan setpoint, supply air
tempering, Frostat™ and smoke detector. Refer to system
input devices and functions for operation.
RTAM—ReliaTel™ Air Handler Module
(Standard with Traditional VAV)
RTAM receives information from the supply duct static
pressure transducer. Attached to the module are the
supply air heating potentiometer, supply air cooling
setpoint potentiometer, supply pressure setpoint
setpoint, CO , and
2 2
potentiometer, static pressure deadband potentiometer,
morning warm-up setpoint potentiometer, reset setpoint
potentiometer, and 5 DIP switches.
System Input Devices &
Functions
The RTRM must have a zone sensor or thermostat input in
order to operate the unit. The flexibility of having several
mode capabilities depends upon the type of zone sensor or
thermostat selected to interface with the RTRM.
The descriptions of the following basic Input Devices used
within the RTRM network are to acquaint the operator with
their function as they interface with the various modules.
Refer to the unit's electrical schematic for the specific
module connections. The following controls are available
from the factory for field installation.
Supply Fan Failure Input (Optional)
The Fan Failure Switch (FFS) can be connected to sense
indoor fan operation. If air flow through the unit is not
